Know before you buy
No, this plant is not pet-safe. It contains calcium oxalate crystals, which can cause irritation or discomfort if ingested by cats or dogs.
You can maintain a compact, bushy shape by regularly pruning the longer stems. This encourages the plant to put energy into new, fuller growth at the base.
To keep the foliage vibrant, place your plant in bright, indirect light. Too little light may cause the leaves to fade to a duller green, while direct sun can scorch the delicate foliage.
Water when the top inch or two of soil feels dry to the touch. It prefers a moderate watering schedule, but be sure to use well-draining soil to prevent the roots from sitting in excess moisture.
It prefers medium humidity levels. While it can adapt to average home conditions, it will appreciate a boost from a pebble tray or a nearby humidifier if your space is particularly dry.
While tap water is generally fine, it is best to let it sit out for 24 hours before watering to allow chlorine to dissipate. Alternatively, you can use filtered or bottled water if your tap water is heavily treated.
